THE BOUNTY OF BUCKS COUNTY
We often don't think about it, but Bucks County is home to 934 farms comprising 75,883 acres. These farms generate over $70 million in agricultural products each year and are a wonderful example of the Bounty of Bucks! Read on to see how you can support our local farms.

| FARM STORES - THE FRESHEST PRODUCE IN TOWN | |
 |
It is not too late to sample the wonderful fruits and vegetables that are grown on our Bucks County farms. We have compiled an annotated list of nearly 100 Farm Stores that will provide the ingredients for a scrumptious meal. |
| FARMERS' MARKETS - NOT JUST A TRIP TO THE GROCERY STORE | |
 |
Many of our communities sponsor Farmers' Markets - a place to buy produce, prepared food, baked treats and more. It is an experience you can share with your neighbors. With 18 farmers' markets in our area, there is sure to be one near you. |
| CONTEST: WHERE ARE THE MULES NOW? | |
 |
Ever wonder what happened to the mules that once  adorned our towns throughout Bucks County and beyond? Since 45 mules were auctioned off in 2003, and many were moved to new locations, the Mules have been hard to find. To celebrate the 10th birthday of the first four mules, we've begun the effort of trying to locate as many of the mules as we can. We're asking for your help in finding the lost mules! Give us the location and photograph of a lost mule and you'll be entered into a drawing to win a $50 gift certificate to Triumph Brewing Company in New Hope! More details. |
| MULES ARE PART OF OUR HISTORICAL LANDSCAPE | |
 |
Did you know that just prior to the Civil War, over 3,000 mule-drawn boats traveled up and down the Delaware Canal, moving over one million tons of coal a year? For more information about mules, visit the Friends of the Delaware Canal website. |
| WHERE HAVE ALL THE JOBS GONE? | |
